This year also marks the eighth chance for Black Sabbath, "Lynyd Skynyrd gets their seventh chance,and the Sex Pistols and the Stooges all of which are on try number five.

Missing from the nomination list again this year include bands like Rush, Van Halen, Yes, Genesis, ELO, Joan Jett, Def Leppard, Alice Cooper, Heart, Deep Purple, Pat Benatar, and Duran Duran."

The RRHOF is a farce. While I have very little use for Genesis/Phil Collins, Def Leppard, or Duran Duran, they all had an impact on the Rock Music scene that can't be disputed

Rush, Van Halen, ELO, Yes, and Deep Purple are all very serious musicians. (Full Disclosure-Deep Purple Fanatic)

Obviously the RRHOF can't be bothered with people that can actually read music.

DOOHH!!??

Forgot to include Sabbath in the serious musician category I know the Ozzy bashers will hate that, but Tony Iommi is unbelievable

[who knows what evil?]

Rush, Van Halen, ELO, Yes, and Deep Purple are all very serious musicians. (Full Disclosure-Deep Purple Fanatic)

I would bet Blackmore doesn't give a rat's ass about the RRHOF.

I have two vinyl copies of Concerto for Group and Orchestra. The second being a German release because my original had some scratches in it and (at the time) it was the only good copy I could find.

Saw em in 71. Wild, we didn't even bother rolling them before we went. Just rolled them as we needed them during the show.
